Resistance: Burning Skies

PlayStation Vita 1 1/2 stars out of 4 If human beings could somehow grow a third hand, "Resistance: Burning Skies" would work just fine as a first-person shooter. Instead, gamers are forced to move the left stick of Sony's portable with one thumb, control the camera and buttons with the other hand, and then somehow tap a touchscreen for other functions. The result? Sore fingers and a completely frustrating experience. Aside from some gimmicky additions, the rest of "Burning Skies" feels like a stripped down version of older PlayStation 3 "Resistance" titles. Unless you've managed to figure out that extra arm thing, we suggest you play those instead.
